Exam periods 

The exam period runs for two weeks at the end of Autumn and Spring Sessions. Specific dates for final and deferred exams are advertised on the student dates page towards the end of each session. You need to be available to sit exams during the entire exam period, as work commitments, holidays or other social functions are not considered valid reasons for missing a final exam.

Exam session times

Exams usually start at 8.30am, 1.45pm and 5.30pm on weekdays and 8.30am and 1.45pm on Saturdays. Check your exam timetable carefully as some exams may be scheduled at a different time. Finishing times depend on the length of the exam. There are some mixed duration exams but exam supervisors will ensure that students are not disrupted if this occurs. Some exams may also be scheduled on campuses where the unit is not studied, so make sure you check your personalised exam timetable to know where your exams are scheduled.

Verbal exam timetable advice will not be disclosed over the phone or at Student Central.

You can access your personalised exam timetable in Platform Web. Make sure you keep checking your student email and Platform Web timetable in case there is an exam venue change.

Exam attendance

Attendance lists will be taken at each exam location and you will be required to supply your student ID. This means you can only attend an exam at the time and location listed on your personalised timetable. If you forget/have lost your student ID you must purchase a temporary student ID from Student Central for $15 on the day of your exam.
